The document proposes an idea for a short film involving an eccentric billionaire who is told he has one week to live due to a rare heart disease. With no family or friends, he invites four people who may have affected his life to play a game where they each select a marble from a bag. Most marbles are white and worth £1 million, but one red marble means the picker is killed, so the billionaire won't die alone. The document provides an outline for pre-production, production and post-production schedules to make the short film, with the goal of submitting it to the Reykjavik International Film Festival.

doesn't want to die alone so he plays a game with risk to try and give away his money and he also kills someone for being too greedy. He has links with the people in the past and they have all effect- ed him.
Idea 2: Shows the different ideas of greed, such as
big companies needing large space and resources and then showing school children their desperation when their single mother is on benefits and they are desperate and need food so the kid steals food but he realizes its too easy so he takes more, show it shows the perspective how everyone is greedy.
Idea 3: The difference in money, someone who has
had an easy life with inheritance money from rich parents and also then those who have nothing who may also be happy . I could show the contrast be- tween the rich and the poor and show how they could both be happy in certain aspects of life. My Final idea is about an eccentric billionaire who made his money in investing smartly in the stock market, He has been told that he has a week left to live because he was diagnosed with a rare heart dis- ease and he has no family or friends to have his wealth and he is also scared of dying alone, so he plays this game. He invites 4 people that may have effected him in life and asks them all to take a mar- ble out of this bag.
In the bag there are 50 marbles, 49 of them are
white, if you pull out a white marble you get £1 mil- lion however there is 1 red marble and if you take that one out, you get killed so then the billionaire wont die alone.
In the end of the game the billionaire reads out
